The Colorado Avalanche are gearing up for another Stanley Cup run, but injuries to key players like Gabriel Landeskog have sparked trade rumors. With the deadline approaching, experts are suggesting three potential targets to add depth: Kiefer Sherwood, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Bryan Rust. Kiefer Sherwood, a 30-year-old winger, is a scoring threat with a cap hit of $1.5 million. Jesperi Kotkaniemi, a 25-year-old center, offers two-way play and a cap hit of $4.8 million. Bryan Rust, a 33-year-old veteran, has a cap hit of $5.125 million and would bring experience to the middle six. Despite recent injuries, the Avalanche continue to win, and a veteran addition could solidify their playoff edge. Checkout Solipillow.com

Ivar Stenberg from Frölunda HC takes the lead as the top NHL Draft prospect, dominating in the Swedish Hockey League with 24 points in 25 games.

Meanwhile, Gavin McKenna, once considered the top prospect, has been inconsistent, allowing Stenberg to surge ahead. Other notable risers include Caleb Malhotra, Chase Reid, Oliver Suvanto, Ilia Morozov, and Keaton Verhoeff, all making strong cases for first-round picks in June. Checkout Solipillow.com

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Tristan Jarry is set to return this week, leaving coach Kris Knoblauch with a tough decision on the backup spot. Connor Ingram and Calvin Pickard have been competing for the role, but with Jarrys return, the team may not keep three goalies on the roster. Ingram, a 28-year-old acquired in October, has a 3-2-1 record with a 2.98 GAA and .893 SV%. Pickard, a 33-year-old veteran, has a 5-6-2 record with a 3.68 GAA and .871 SV%, but has improved in his last four starts. The team must consider waivers, as sending Pickard down could result in him being claimed by another team, while Ingram is exempt until January 17th. The Oilers play Chicago on Monday, Nashville on Tuesday, and the Islanders on Thursday. Checkout Solipillow.com
